Java is a programming language is a core component of Sun Microsystems' Javaplatform. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simplerobject model and fewer low-level facilities. Java applications are typically compiled tobytecode (class file) that can run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) regardless ofcomputer architecture. Java is general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, and object-oriented, and is specifically designed to have as few implementation

dependencies aspossible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere". Java isconsidered by many as one of the most influential programming languages of the 20thcentury, and is widely used from application software to web applications.
